"As gentle a man as he was, as tender as was his heart, there was nothing weak about Michael Hosea. He was the strongest-minded man Joseph had ever met. A Man like Noah. A Man like the Shepherd-king David. A man after God's own heart." (Redeeming Love, Francine Rivers)
In order to reach and serve people we must hold steadfast to concept of being a "man or woman" after God's own heart. This exerpt from the brilliantly written book, Redeeming Love, opens my eyes to the person I want to be--compassionate, with a strength that cannot be broken by the world and circumstances.
Women, I would highly, highly recommend reading the book Beautiful in God's Eyes by Elizabeth George. It has a beautiful and glorifying breakdown of the women we can be and how we can serve the Lord to our full potential through guidance of the Proverbs 31 chapter in the Bible. We have so much potential to reach and serve others around us if we can just open our eyes and hearts to all the Lord has in store for us. If we can break down barriers that are daily set before us and transform our minds for the renewing of our spirits we have the ability to impact so many people! If you keep that in mind and surrender your life and your plans daily to the Lord you will find peace, contentment, and joy beyond anything you could imagine.
